MADISON, Wis, Oct. S.-This is good
fishing weather, and the president and
his companions went fishing on Lake
Mendoza. A steam yacht conveyed them
to an island in the lake, whence they
went to the fishing grounds in small
boats. The crowds have disappeared,
and with the exception of the banners,
arches and Chinese lanterns, the town
wears its ordinary aspect. The party
returned at o'clock. They had ex-
cellent luck. and brought back between
thirty and forty good-sized fish as
trophies. They were carried by the
steamer about four miles up the lake to
Maple Bluff, where they took small
boats, each member of the party having
an OarSman to himself. They reached
the fishing grounds, and had been fish
ing over an hour when a high wind
arose and made it dangerous to remain
out longer, so they sought shelter at
the Magnus Rex club house near by,
where four members of the club wei
coined them and entertained them
AT A FINE LUNCH.
The club house, though small, I'M

otherwise. BY the time lunch was over
the wind had subsidized, though slight
rain had set in which lasted all day.
The party, clad in waterproof garments,
betOok themselves again to the row
boats and continued their sport until
nearly dark. The president caught
eight black bass, the two largest being
respectively four and half and four
and quarter pounds, These were the
heaviest fish caught. The total catch
was twenty-One black bass, thirteen
plckerel and few white bass and
perch. The president fiShed for black
bass alone and Billy Dunn, his oars
man, and the local authority on fishing
matters, declares with emphasis that he
(the preSidenD certainly does
know how to handle the rod.
The president says he has
enjoyed the day immensely, and his
admiration for the scenery of Lake
Mendoza is bOundleSs. The presi-
dental party dined this evening with
Col. Villas, Prof. Chamberlain, president
OF the Wisconsin university, and wife,
Col. knight and wife, and 3. J. Stevens
and wife, of Madison, being invited to
meet them, A public reception was
given by the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land at the Villas mansion between 9
and II O'Clock this evening to the citi-
Zens of Madison. 1t has already been
stated that the postmaster general and
Mrs. Villas would join the presidential
party, but the matter was not definitely
determined until to-day.
THEY HAVE NOW ACCEPTED.
the presidents invitation, and will ac-
company him during the remainder of
his journey. a special train composed
of the three private cars of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Chauncey NJ. Depew and
Marvin Hughitt. president of the North
western railroad, and having on board a
dozen high railroad dignitaries reached
this place at noon. Messrs. Vanderbilt,
Depew, Hughitt and Walter Webb took
carriages for the Villas mansion to pay
their respects to the president OF the
United States, but he had not returned
from fishing, and the callers left their
cards and returned to the train, which
left here an hour later for Duluth. These
gentlemen expect to be in St. Paul next
Monday. and Will probably meet the
president there. Mrs. Cleveland and
Mr.. Bissell, who did not accompany the
fishers, are resting quietly to-day at the
Villas hons.
